Come join us as we remotely set up in our new location in Belleville Saturday with free samples from the Olive Oil Marketplace - Come check out the progress of the build out in the store while enjoying some Chili.
Hosted by the Greater Belleville Chamber of Commerce, the annual Chili Cook-off has featured the culinary creations of individuals, local organizations, and area businesses for more than 30 years! What started with just a few vendors on one block of East Main Street in downtown Belleville has now grown to more than 60 vendors and is one of the largest festivals in Belleville!
Many people attend the Chili Cook-off to enjoy the great chili, entertainment and other festivities, but most don’t realize that it’s the biggest fundraiser of the year for many non-profit organizations. Over half of the vendors participating at the Chili Cook-off each year are either a non-profit organization or a business raising money for a charity. 100% of the money you spend at each booth goes to that vendor.
In addition, attendees are invited to vote in the People's Choice contest for their favorite chili with $1 per vote. 100% of the proceeds are donated to the Community Interfaith Food Pantry in Belleville
No. Admission is free and the event is open to the public! Food prices vary from vendor to vendor, so make sure you bring cash for samples & food!
